Depinges

(2 syl.) or Deepings. A breadth of netting to be sewed
on a hoddy (net) to make it sufficiently large. Sometimes the
breadth is called a depth, and the act of sewing one depth on
another is called deepening the net. In 1574 the Dutch settlers
at Yarmouth were required “to provide themselves with twine and
depinges in foreign places.”
